Hey, justa quick Q... What programs do you guys use for fading and layering? I think I need to move on from mspaint *sniff*
Yes. Adobe is the better one of the two, you can download a free 30 day trial of Adobe Photoshop at www.adobe.com.
i use paintshop pro but once my 30 day trial's up for this im getting adobe photoshop 'cuz i already know how to use it! i may just buy one of them once i get my new computer...or rather make my mom buy it for me.
I like Jasc Paintshop Pro 7 the most, it's the easiest one to use in my mind. As for features, Adobe's good once you finally learn to use them. Don't get Painshop Pro 8 though, it stinks.
